Diel fluctuations of temperature, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, total alkalinity and chlorosity in the Shatt al-Arab River and the Ashar Canal at Basrah, Iraq were studied. The study covered three 24-hour periods in three different months. Appreciable diurnal changes in the physieo-chemical conditions and considerable heterogeneity were noted at the three stations selected. The ranges of diurnal differences between maximum and minimum values of all the parameters studied are provided stationwise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
